Token Utilities

Tokens are complex assets with a plethora of facets that need to be considered holistically prior to their implementation within an ecosystem.

Companies often come to Simplicity wanting a token without considering its inherent purpose, resulting in a token that has no primary utilities and a lack of intrinsic value. We work closely with them to ensure the token is implemented correctly.

🧐 Discover Simplicity's thought process in ensuring proper and meaningful token creation.

🔥 We put together this one-pager to showcase what we know.

Token Economies

Designing token economies requires a holistic understanding of multiple diverging schools of thought - finance, psychology, law, tech, and politics.

At Simplicity, we pride ourselves on our ability to work with clients to collate these schools of thought to design sustainable economies.

Tokenomics

The supply side of the token is governed by its distribution and vesting schedule. These things, and other data (such as token prices, valuations, total supply, etc.), can be found within the project's tokenomics.

We believe tokenomics should be grounded in economics, and are proud of our holistic approach to this complex aspect of the token architecture.
